It's fun and for me kind of takes the pressure of in a weird way. Like treating my minis with a little bit less respect relaxes me a bit when moving on to painting... There is probably a Freudian analysis on that...

love this video! Oil wash tip: But down a gloss varnish before doing any oil based washes, streaking, filtering, or effects. After the oils dry you can seal up with a satin or matte varnish. Since the underlying paint is sealed & protected, you can use odorless spirits to thin or remove oil paint where needed. Scale modelers use this A LOT to achieve weathered looks or to modulate base paint colors.

One of the best hobby videos i have seen in a LONG time and i watch a LOT daily….. whilst painting. Thank you for the time, effort, production value and humour you have pumped into this. It is definitely worth every second and appreciated. Looking forward to diving into the rest of your content. I stumbled across this by the title! I have also been experimenting with the grim dark approach and related to almost everything you pointed out. I committed a lot of time to wet blending and then used streaking grime all over the mini a removed it in raised areas. I found it muted or completely eliminated a lot of my blending work. So i had to go in and re-lighten most areas. Theres definitely a balance to be hit there that needs tuning. Currently working through the next 5 reivers. Lets hope i hit it this time!

Most mistakes can be fixed.. and sometimes things just turn out the way they turn out. At the beginning of painting a mini I try to not be super set on the final result, but sort just take it one step at a time and accept the result. Don't think it's so much about fearlessness, more like "letting things happen".
